Hydration Sensation

Let's get right to the point. How many of you actually drink 8 cups of water per day? About a month ago I read somewhere online that water helps with: clearer skin, hydrated skin, and most of all it helps clear out the waste and toxins in your body.

When I heard that it got all the gross stuff out of your body I slowly got into drinking more water. I mean really, who wants all that bad stuff in their system?! Since it clears out your system, it also allows you to lose weight easier and faster.

I used to have extremely dry skin. I started drinking water and doing that baking soda and water acne treatment I told y'all about and my skin is healthier than it's been in a LONG time.

I know that it will probably be hard to get into drinking water on a regular basis if you don't already do so. With that being said...

• Start your day with water, if you drink water before you eat breakfast you won't be as hungry. That way you only eat the necessary amount for your body.
• When you go out to eat, instead of getting soda or some kind of caffeinated beverage, get water. 
• Question your decisions. If you reach in the fridge for some pop, freeze, and get water instead.
• RECYCLE. Getting a reusable water bottle at the store is WAAAY cheaper than buying pre-bottled water. Plus, it's cuter too.
• If you think the taste of water is too plain, buy some drink mixes at the store! (However, make sure they don't have caffeine. Caffeine drains water out of your body.)
• I like adding lemon to my water, it adds a refreshing change to the somewhat bland flavor.
• I know that your going to have to go to the bathroom a lot when you first start drinking more water, but that is normal! In fact, it's better for you! Don't try to hold it. That is very unhealthy. When you need to go... GO!
• When you have dinner with your family, and everyone else is drinking soda, be proud of your decision to have water! It's good for ya!
• If you're a caffeine addict, make sure you pace yourself. If you have a Coke or Pepsi that day, make sure you drink an extra bottle of water than you usually would.
• My final tip is this: Don't give in to temptation. Ask someone else to start drinking more water with you. That way you have someone to work with and they will help remind you of your beverage choices and vise versa. 

I hope you got something out of this post, and I want you ladies to know that I'm rooting for you!
